Dear Louise...I can't be catholic anymore because I am

remarried and can't receive communion(You can if don't

remarry and are just divorced). I had already left by

then. My mother had to get a dispensation to marry by

father...gasp...a baptist. My father was a very

personally religious man and I realize that he missed

out on having a family to go to church with him but he

never complained and always went to mass with us on

Christmas and Easter.

A funny story for you. I went to my cousin's wedding

and my children were around 5 and 7. My family is

VERY Catholic. When it was time for communion my

children wanted to know if they could go up and get

blessed like they did at their church before they made

their communion. When they handed my 5 year old son a

host, he didn't know what to do with it and gave it to

my cousin's grandmother who had the wine. It was the

biggest scandal in my family. I just laughed and told

my mom that if they wanted to damn a child for trying

to get blessed and not understanding then shame on

them. They think that it is bad enough that I

divorced and am no longer catholic.

I know where you are coming from...my ex had a child

with someone he worked with while we were married.

Actually, that is just the icing on the cake of our

divorce. I am married to a fabulous man no who would

never cheat on me. I guess I deserved it after all

those years of hell. Have a good one. Iris
